<p class=MsoNormal>The carmen delivered a grand last week and when they'd left
I realized they hadn't attached the lyre. Then I realized why : they'd
lost the bolts and hadn't the nerve to tell me. It turns out another team
picked the piano up, and "they were tired and couldn't
remember", poor souls. Besides, the lyre wasn't fixed properly at
the house etc. etc. The old ones are the best!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>They probably won't bother to find them, so I have the
problem of getting new ones. Luckily the thread is 3/8" British
Standard Whitworth and as a last resort I could have a welder make them up from
coach bolts, but I'd rather look for the proper things first. The
question is : what do you call a bolt of this style that is not a wing bolt?<o:p></o:p></p>
